[cod] Off the wall Question

[Georgecooldude]

I thought web edition could join a domain just not become a domain
controller. But seriously use linux and invest the £300-500 saving into
buying another server ;-) Thats what I did. You could also run the server
under Windows XP I assume as this would be slightly cheaper. Be aware that
IIS is limited and there is no DNS or any of the server features.
